Sour D coming along nicely considering that I am not an expert with sativas and tend to burn them.View attachment 1108776

Looks pretty expert to me.

Of the 2 out of 3 sativa's sour D that I got to sprout I can only give mediocre reviews. It may be all because of my technique but I have perfectly healthy sativas from a different breeder being fed on the same feed scale as them and they are doing great other than a little light burn.

Lemon snow cone

The sour D is just airy and fox tailed. I'm gonna need my high THCv strain to have some structure to the flowers.

I maintain an IBL Durban. AK Bean Brains has Durban/Rhodesian and it’s almost certainly from the same source here in Alaska. Originally retrieved from Africa in 1979 and brought directly back to Ketchikan.

I doubt you can get just IBL Durban from AKBB. I might be wrong but I think all he offers is crosses. By the way his shit is legit.

People say they want it but they never want to pay.

I hope the terp I'm smelling is THCv. This smells amazazing... I ended up burning it, too much phosphorus and potassium locked out magnesium. I can fix that next time I run it.

From my experience, lemongrass, and carrot has been a common flavor for the thcv strains I have run so far. Only a handful tho

I tried to pop 5 Varins G beans and so far none came up. Several other strains popped at the same time and all came up except one so far. Just letting everyone know Incase anyone was thinking of buying some THCv seeds you may wanna steer clear of Seattle chronic.

 

[TadKooler]

I picked these seeds up too. I have not popped them yet. And, that sucks...

 

[TripsRabbit]

Update, one of 5 Varins G popped. Looked at the rest of the beans and they all look small, light in color and brittle. No wonder they aren't popping.

Hi,
Here are some COA's from ISO 17025 accredited lab
Pure Analytics of Sonoma, California. Pure Analytics started
testing for THCV/THCVa in the fall of 2015, when the DEA
released the certified standards for THCV, prior to this Labs
such as Steep Hill were creating there own standards which are
of no scientific validity.
Please feel free to look at the testing results for THCV chemovars,
Page 35 might be of interest to the THCV afficiando.

Is anyone here other than me more interested in breeding a high thcv strain than ingesting thcv?

 

[TripsRabbit]

Do you work for mendo farms or are you just sharing that?

2 of 5 Varins G popped
After seeing samples of high THCv flowers I'm not sure that I'll find a keeper with THCv in it. I like smell and frost, if it looks like hemp I'm not gonna save a clone after the first run.

How much of the about 5% THCvA that was found in most of your samples is converted into THCv when smoked and Vaped(dry herb)? It'd be awesome if you know but it's okay if you don't.

That is so disappointing. I've heard other people say NONE of their Varins G popped. I bought a pack as well.

I will send COA's of THCV rosin that we pressed,
the decarboxiltation of THCVa into THCV is 428 F,
trying to measure the levels is about what specific temperature
that your using, concentrates can be measured, don't know about flower,
if you have COA's of this from ISO 17025 accredited labs would like to see them.
